Chapter 45: The Four Sons of the Late Ming Dynasty
Chen Zhenhui, the word Dingsheng, a native of Yixing, Jiangsu, and Tongcheng Fang Yizhi, Guide Hou Fangyu, Rugao Mao Kaijiang are collectively known as the "Four Sons of the Late Ming Dynasty", all four of them are from the family of the eunuchs, out of the loyalty, into the filial piety, love guests, wide travel, suave, crowned for a while.
They are not only noble in character, but also very good in talent, in addition to Baguwen, the four of them have their own unique skills, Chen Zhenhui is good at prose, the article is graceful and elegant, and good at scattering both bodies. Hou Fangyu is good at ancient literature, and his articles have the air of opening mountains and cracking stones. Mao Bijiang is good at building gardens, and in modern terms, he is a natural garden designer.
Fang Yizhi is even more incredible, he has four titles in later life: writer, philosopher, thinker and scientist, because he was one of the few scholars who took the initiative to learn Western studies at that time, he was familiar with Western missionaries Bi Fangji and John Tong, from whom he learned and understood modern natural science, and was very good at astronomy, optics, biology, medicine and other aspects.
The four sons are all backbone members of the Fusheng Society, and in their early years, they often gathered together to feast and drink, and talked about their family and country feelings, but recently they have gradually parted ways, among which Fang Yizhi has been a high school jinshi in Chongzhen in the thirteenth year of Hanlin, and he doesn't play with them much anymore, but now that the northern capital has fallen, he is afraid that he will be more auspicious. Hou Fangyu offended Ruan Dacheng, and now he has escaped from Nanjing, and now he doesn't know where to hide in Tibet. Mao Xiang and Hou Fangyu absconded back to Rugao's hometown, but Rugao is now the residence of Xingping Bo Gaojie, this person is a thief, and he likes to be a troubled place the most, and Mao Gongzi may not have a good time in his jurisdiction.
Only Chen Zhenhui had a peaceful time during this time, and she often came here to hang out with Zhenniang before the accident in Meixianglou, and the four of them lived on the first floor, and I don't know how many passionate dramas were staged. Later, Ruan Dacheng came back, and the resumption of the society suffered a catastrophe, and the backbone of the society fled one after another, and he had to return to his hometown in Yixing to avoid trouble.
But it's been less than a month and he's back, isn't he afraid of Ruan Dacheng?
Chen Zhenhui is of course afraid of Ruan Dacheng, but he is not a brainless person, as the oldest of the "Four Sons of Jiangnan", although his talent is not as good as the three juniors, but the network resources are indeed the deepest, since he dares to risk going to prison to come back, it must be relied on.
Li Xiaojun thought about it carefully, and quickly figured out the reason, the fourth son is very famous in Jiangnan, and he is the head of the Restoration Society, so the social relations are naturally very extensive, plus the advantage of the home field, even if Ruan Dacheng is in a high position, it is not easy to hold them!
Thinking of this, her mind began to come alive, since he has such a deep relationship, his relationship with Hou Fangyu is very good, and he is Zhen Niang's boyfriend, I am afraid she has to count on him to save Zhen Niang! In this case, then what is there to hesitate, when you see him in a while, you must tie him to the boat and let him actively run for the affairs of Zhenniang.
After making up his mind, Li Xiaojun went downstairs and came to the pavilion where he often enjoyed the shade, and saw an old man with gray hair, sallow face, and hunched over sitting next to the stone table inside.
Looking at such an old man who is older than Zhou Bin, Li Xiaojun directly broke the defense, I go, I'm afraid this person must be seventy years old, and he dares to call him the "Four Sons of Jiangnan"?
The world's standards for childe are too low.
After carefully looking at the old man for a while, and seeing that he was also looking at himself, Li Xiaojun took the lead in speaking, "You are ...... Chen Dingsheng? ”
When the old man saw that the person who greeted him was her, his originally muddy eyes instantly widened, "Old sister-in-law, is it really you?" ”
"Old sister-in-law?" Li Xiaojun was a little confused, and said in his heart, is this what he calls himself?
When the old man saw her wooden and sneering, he thought that he didn't recognize him, so he hurriedly took off the disguise on his body and called out again, "Old sister-in-law, it's me, I'm Chen Dingsheng, the wind is tight outside, I made some disguises, don't you know me?" ”
The old man became a middle-aged uncle after dividing five by two, not to mention that he looked quite handsome, and his figure was not bad, but the disguise had not been removed yet, which looked a little nondescript and funny.
Although he had already identified himself, Li Xiaojun still had no impression of him at all, "Are you Chen Dingsheng?" ”
"Ah, I'm Chen Dingsheng!" Seeing that she didn't look like pretending, Chen Zhenhui couldn't help but wonder, "After Chaozong and I fled Nanjing, I heard that Ruan Huzi came to force each other, and you refused to marry with your head against the pillar, didn't you hurt your heart because of this?" ”
"Ah, yes! Right! Right! After confirming that the person who came was Chen Zhenhui, Li Xiaojun immediately stopped pretending, and followed the excuse he took the initiative to send it and said, "That's it, that's it!" I woke up with amnesia and couldn't remember a lot of things. ”
"Huh?" Chen Zhenhui was taken aback, "You won't even forget me, will you?" I watched you grow up! ”
Here comes another person who has watched himself grow up!
Li Xiaojun remembered that Yang Wencong had also said such a thing, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Hehe! ”
Hearing her sneer, Chen Zhenhui was a little confused, stared at her for a long time before asking, "You really forgot about me?" ”
Li Xiaojun saw that his eyes were clear, his eyes were full of concern, and he didn't have the evil thoughts in Yang Wencong's eyes at all, so she relaxed a little, shook her head and said, "I really forgot, I only remembered some after Cuiyun mentioned it." ”
Her historical knowledge is very scarce, except for knowing the general historical trend and important historical figures, she doesn't know anything else, let alone Chen Zhenhui, and she doesn't even know who the current emperor is.
"That's good, that's good!" Chen Zhenhui breathed a sigh of relief, asked about her injury again, and heard that it was almost better before she completely relieved herself, "It's okay, it's okay!" Chaozong is not here, it really hurts you! ”
Li Xiaojun laughed dryly, and said in his heart that this person is not bad, much more sincere than Yang Longyou, it depends on whether he can withstand the test of money.
Cuiyun served tea, the two said a few inconsequential words, and she finally asked the question that had been haunting her heart, "Why do you call me 'old sister-in-law'?" ”
Chen Zhenhui laughed when she heard this, and then talked about the origin of this name.
Because Hou Fangyu is the head of the Restoration Society, Li Xiaojun often participates in activities with them, and his personality and temperament are naturally consistent with the literati temperament advocated by the Restoration Society, and the style of the old cadre who speaks and does things is full, so he got such a title.
After listening to this explanation, Li Xiaojun couldn't help but smile, this is the same reason as calling the squad leader "boss" and the league secretary "sister-in-law" when she used to study.
Chen Zhenhui said with emotion, "It is rumored outside that Li Zhenniang married into Tianfu on behalf of Xiangjun, so it turns out that this is really the case!" ”
Hearing him take the initiative to talk about this, Li Xiaojun's tears that had already been brewing burst out of his eyes, "Zhenniang...... Whining...... Zhenniang. ”
Chen Zhenhui saw her crying suddenly, and panicked for a while, "It's only been a few days, how did so many things happen?" This Ruan beard, even if you persecute me, it will also affect your women's family, it is really better to be a pig and a dog, this time I will come back and I must unite with the loyal people of the government and the opposition to impeach him! ”
Li Xiaojun saw that he was so indignant, and said in his heart My Mr. Chen, you are going to fall for my tricks, "Zhen Niang treats me really closer than the slave mother, Zhen Niang is gone, Hou Lang doesn't know where it is, what should the slave family do?" Hou Lang, where are you, do you know that I look forward to you day and night, and think of you every night! ”
After speaking, he covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly, "Zhenniang, you must not have anything to do...... Hou Lang, you have to pay attention to safety outside...... Woo woo, Hou Lang...... Woowoo...... Lonely night, I sat alone in the cabin. There is my Du Shi Niang in the cabin, waiting for my Lang ......"
